Abstract: In a boiling-water nuclear reactor (10), a core-control assembly (22) comprises a control rod (60), a fuel support (62), a control-rod guide tube (64), a control-rod drive (66), and a control-rod-drive housing (68). The fuel support is welded to the control-rod guide tube. To remove (200) the control-rod drive, the reactor vessel (12) can be opened (202) and the adjacent fuel bundles removed (203) from the fuel support. Then the control-rod can be rotated while clearing the fuel support. The control rod is then rotated (205) to decouple its bayonet connection to the control-rod drive. The control rod can then be lifted (206) out of the reactor. This arrangement allows a control rod to be replaced without handling of the fuel support. In addition, the fuel support can be more securely installed since it does not need to be removed.

Abstract: Système d'affichage vidéo (10) constituant un moyen de faible coût par l'intermédiaire duquel un grand nombre de participants peuvent être amenés à passer rapidement par un système vidéo interactif. Le système comprend un tunnel sinueux (13) et sombre composé d'écrans (15) à facettes plats et à rétroprojection, agencés sous forme de sections (14) à plusieurs écrans. Des images vidéo sont projetées sur les écrans à partir de projecteurs vidéo (17) utilisant des miroirs (18) disposés à l'arrière des écrans (15). Les sections d'écrans (14) sont accouplées pour former un tunnel entier (13). Les participants passent à travers le tunnel assombri (13) dans des véhicules (12) qui sont guidés de manière analogue à des automobiles passant par un tunnel de lavage ou sur une chaîne d'assemblage à l'usine. A mesure que chaque véhicule (12) avance le long du tunnel (13), les écrans de projection (15) l'entourant sont éclairés, ainsi que les sections d'écrans (14) précédentes et suivantes. Tandis que le véhicule se déplace de la section oùil se trouve vers la section suivante, la section précédente est éteinte et la suivante est éclairée. L'intensité de l'image de la section suivante s'accroît graduellement alors que le véhicule se rapproche, grâce aux caractéristiques de gain des écrans, de sorte que la transition est presque imperceptible. Le système d'affichage vidéo (10) présente ainsi un moyen permettant à l'opérateur d'une attraction d'un parc d'attractions ou d'un système d'apprentissage de faire passer rapidement et efficacement un grand nombre de participants. Le système (10) permet à un concepteur de système vidéo interactif de diviser les participants en groupes considérablement réduits, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum le temps d'attente entre les groupes et d'augmenter sensiblement le nombre de participants utilisant le système.

Abstract: We have made retrovirus particles displaying a functional antibody fragment. We fused the gene encoding an antibody fragment directed against a hapten with that encoding the viral envelope protein (Pr80env) of the ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus. The fusion gene was co-expressed in ecotropic retroviral packaging cells with a retroviral plasmid carrying the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neo), and retroviral particles with specific hapten biding activities were recovered. Furthermore the hapten-binding particles were able to transfer the neo gene and the antibody-envelope fusion gene to mouse fibroblasts. In principle, the display of antibody fragments on the surface of recombinant retroviral particles could be used to target virus to cells for gene delivery, or to retain the virus in target tissues, or for the construction of libraries of viral display packages.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling a current generator.
Inventor: HELLQVIST OLE
IPC: G05F1/46
Filed: 1993-10-07
Abstract: Method of controlling a current generator (1) having two voltage inputs (9, 10) and an output (13) connected to a load (6). In case the impedance of the load is lower than a first value, the generator is controlled in a non-feedback way to generate a signal, the current value of which is determined by the input voltage. On the other hand when the impedance of the load is higher than a second value larger than the first value, the output signal is negatively fed back to generate a signal on the output, the voltage value of which signal is determined by the input voltage. Thus, the output signal is automatically adapted to the desired mode of operation of the receiving apparatus (5). The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a shaped-tube electrolytic polishing process which involves providing a workpiece with at least one hole. The hole is polished by advancing a metal tube electrode through the hole while passing an electrolyte through the tube and into the hole and while passing electric current between the metal tube and the workpiece through the electrolyte. As a result of such polishing, reduced surface roughness is imparted to the hole. It is particularly desirable to provide the hole in the workpiece by a shaped-tube electrolytic drilling process.

Abstract: Such an interface circuit makes it possible, from an input signal, varying between a reference level (VR) available on a first terminal (QR) and a first voltage level (V1), to deliver an output signal varying between this reference level (VR) and a second voltage level (V2) available on a second terminal (Q2). It includes two invertors (INV1, NV2) the response times of which are such that the two transistors of the third branch (P5, N6) are never active simultaneously. Thus, short-circuiting them during the transient regime does not create any current peak; it is therefore possible to dimension them substantially with respect to the other transistors of the circuit without degrading the efficiency thereof. Applications: interface circuits for heavy-current applications, and in particular voltage step-up circuits allowing low- and high-voltage circuits to be interfaced. <IMAGE>
